Self-Watering pots

On a business trip and stop by Shopko and saw they had these three large self-watering pots on sale. The original price was 24.99 and now is $6.49 a piece. I bought all three. It is 18" wide and about 24 " deep. Has anyone use this type of pot to prevent over water and drowning the tree.

I’ved used the method before on potted plants to bottom water on hydrophobic soils or rootbound plants. Still works well for me.I’d put some river rock in the bottom to get the plants’ roots out of direct water contact

I have orchids grown in these type of pots, one is smaller, one is about this size, for at least 5 years. My orchids grow well in these pots.
